TOO SLOW PC!!

MY COMPUTER IS EXTREMELY SLOW!!!!!!
Not because I have lots and lots of software, but becaause my computer is using heaps of ram.

Like firefox, using up around 100000KB of ram, and same with safari.
And many antivirus programs, like Norton (it takes around 30Sec to run).
These days if I don't use the internet I would usally use Ubuntu or run Windows in Safe Mode. This way it is faster. It takes around 6min to logon and the taskbar usally frezzes so I have to usally press Ctrl+Alt+Del to wake up the taskbar (sometimes that doesn't work either). Here's the list of software that I have installed (may not be accurate):

Re: TOO SLOW PC!!

First thing you should only have one antivirus program installed, as multiple can cause problems. Uninstall Norton its basically useless anyway, also ditch AVG. Avast is the best of the lot and will do fine on its own.

Your versions of Java are out of date and should be updated.

I'll leave the HJT log for someone more knowledgeable with them like Speedy.

EDIT: Once you uninstall Norton's download CCleaner links in my signature and run that to remove any traces. Just noticed you already have it.
